The Greek Parliament's ethics committee has recommended lifting the parliamentary immunity of Zoe Konstantopoulou, the leader of the opposition Plefsi Eleftherias party. This decision comes following a vote by the committee, which also included a similar recommendation for independent MP Mario Salmas. The final decision regarding both cases will be made by the Parliament's plenary session through a roll-call vote.

The request to lift Konstantopoulou’s immunity is based on a defamation lawsuit filed against her by businessman Achilleas Davelis. Reports indicate that the committee's vote had the support of the ruling New Democracy party, while members from PASOK, SYRIZA, KKE, and NIKI voted against it. The participation of the Greek Solution party was noted as abstaining. Konstantopoulou did not attend the session during which the recommendation was made, as noted by several sources.
